We appreciate those who choose to make their business happen here! Below are links to fillable forms found in a full packet of the business application. You will find license fee information and a checklist of different types of businesses required to have a license in order to operate legally within city limits. A business license is required to verify several requirements, including zoning, sales tax and utility and emergency response. Any business operating without a license is subject to Section 1-10 of the City Code of Ordinances, General Penalty and could be fined. For more information, call Allison Skinner or Brenda Lewis at City Hall 417-256-7176.
